Armin Geiger

Computational Energy Systems

Biography

Armin's fundamental research interests pertain to understanding biological organisms on a systems level by integrating different types of omics data. Of special interest are the microbes and plants involved in biotechnological processes such as the production of biofuels, useful secondary metabolites and other batch chemicals. He is also interested in the relationships between pathogens and their host.

Armins' work involves merging large-scale biological datasets with high performance computing and network theory. He has worked with genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data from model organisms as well as organisms relating to the production of wine.
